Who Knows Java? lol

Hey guys I need Java help lol. I would REALLY REALLY appreicate some help, yes im a desperate sad man for all purposes.... Basically I need a relatively simplep rogram that finds the first 100 prime numbers. I would appreciate any help i could get especailly in regards to the algorithm for finding the primes. I mean like Java is similar to C++ Im just having some difficulty with an algorithm to determine prime numbers. Thanks, any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks, Xavya

PS ALso i would love you for all eternity thanks

Here's my prime number PHP function I wrote a while ago. I don't know Java but it looks like the syntax is almost exactly the same.

function prime($min, $max) {
    if ($min % 2 == 0) { $min++; }
    if ($max % 2 == 0) { $max--; }
    for ($x = $min; $x <= $max; $x += 2) {
        $n = $x;
        $lim = $x;
        while ($lim > $n) {
            if ($x % $n == 0) { $blah = 1; }            
            $lim = $x / $n;             
            $n += 2;
        }
        if ($blah == 0) { $prime_numbers .= "$x "; }
    }
    return $prime_numbers;
} 

For the first hundred you'd do this:

$numbers = prime(1, 100)

But instead of .= for string concatenation you'd use + and there might be some other things to change around.
